Comprehensive and effective - I had the chance of having this tour led by Dimiter and I don’t regret it! It was incredible insightful, going through thousands years of history each thomb being different, it highlights a different story. The guide was great, always looking for you, with a sense of humor which caught me by surprise a few times.

Outstanding historical tour about the ancient Thracians - This was a terrific tour; the tour guide, Ivan, was stellar: very knowledgeable, articulate and provided many anecdotes and facts which made the narrative about the Thracians and their relevance to Bulgaria’s history very interesting and compelling.

A lovely insight into the Thracian Kings - If you like to learn about the history of Bulgaria, this is one of those trips that will do it for you. I was the only one on the trip and Adrian did a fantastic job telling me all there is to know about the Thracian Kings. He is very enthusiastic about giving you all the facts and he managed to keep me entertained the long ride there. I am so pleased that I did this day trip and with so much information Adrian provided, it makes me want to come back one day to see the northern part now.

Fantastic Tour Company, Highly Recommend! - I’ve just finished two tours with this company in five days, and both were fantastic! Excellent guides, smooth air conditioned transportation, good lunch stops and best of all, no rushing! My two guides, Krasi and Ivo were so knowledgeable about both Bulgarian and Balkan history, I finished each day having learned so much! Each tour was well planned and well paced, so I never felt rushed, yet we managed quite a lot over one day. Each tour was also filled with wonderful conversation, but they can clearly give tourists more space if needed as well. I’ve recommend both Bulgaria and this tour company to all my friends, and highly recommend it here as well. I’d like to return to Bulgaria at some point, and I’d immediately book with Bultrips again. I’ve traveled to 54 countries now, and these were two of my best day trips in all those travels!

Impressive and interesting tour. - This was my second tour with BulTrips. It turned out to be a very reliable company. The groups were quite small (2 and 3 people, respectively, including me) and the vehicle was a comfortable van. The Thracian tombs look more impressive in reality than on the pictures. Our guide Krassimir was very dedicated and provided detailed information about the Thracians and Bulgaria. He even added some interesting extra stop. Highly recommended.
